EMERGENCY EVACUATION UPDATE: Fortunately, because of the dedication of volunteers and individuals who helped us buy animal transport trailers, WE
WERE ABLE TO SAFELY EVACUATE ALL OF GENTLE BARN’S ANIMALS, and
the animals are now being cared for at Animal Acres...

Given the state of emergency in southern
California, it is clear that additional fire evacuation areas need to be established for farm animals, and we
are focusing all our efforts on this over the next two weeks. We DESPERATELY need YOU to help with this effort.

HOW TO HELP FARM ANIMALS IN FIRE EVACUATIONS:1. VOLUNTEER AT ANIMAL ACRES: Come to Animal Acres to help care for evacuated animals
here.

2. HELP ESTABLISH EMERGENCY
EVACUATION PROTOCOL: Help set up an emergency evacuation area for the Animal Acres animals. The more volunteers
who can pitch-in, the sooner a site can be ready for evacuation needs.

Sunday and Monday, as flames engulfed the animals at Gentle Barn in Santa
Clarita, CA , Kinship Circle urged volunteers to bring transport trailers and willing hands to both Gentle Barn
and Animal Acres. You were advised to notify Susie Kaufman, if able to help. Below is Susie’s update on the evacuated animals.

several dozen animals have been evacuated to temporary holding locations. Among the animals evacuated were horses,
goats, ducks, and dogs. The ARR is continuing to monitor the fires through the night and will continue to provide aid
to those pets in danger.

COMPANION ANIMAL EVACUATION:Residents evacuating their homes are asked to take all companion animals with them. If possible,
place your pet in a crate or carrier and bring any necessary supplies including leashes, food, water, and medications
as supplies at evacuation centers may be limited. More tips: http://www.sdhumane.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Ter_Disasterpreparedness

Most Red Cross evacuation centers are accepting pets in carriers. If you do not have or were unable to put your pet in a carrier or need pet supplies, bring your pet to one of the following

VCA animal hospitals throughout Southern California are offering
free boarding through Nov. 5 -- on a space-available basis -- for animals whose owners have been evacuated or
displaced as a result of the firestorms.

Pet owners should call ahead to double-check, but VCA facilities in Los
Angeles and Orange counties that may have space available include:

EDITED FOR LENGTH(CBS) LOS ANGELES Owners of
horses and large animals in the Topanga Canyon area were ordered Sunday to evacuate their animals immediately, as officials
said animal owners in areas affected by wildfires should evacuate their pets early. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department and the Los Angeles County Fire Department issued the animal evacuation order for Topanga Canyon Sunday
afternoon because of a windblown, 1,200-acre wildfire that began in Malibu Sunday morning and is bearing down on the
canyon.

owners were advised to enter the college via El Rancho Road, east of DeSoto Avenue, a quarter mile south of Victory
Boulevard.

Late last night (Sunday, October 21) high winds ripped four of our exercise pens off the ground and sent them flying. Currently they are residing where they landed last night. Some are slung
over the kennel and into the pool area, others just upside-down in the middle of our exercise area. We need help
to secure these structures down and make the ranch safe as we are also expecting a large influx of displaced dogs from
the fire evacuations.

The Castaic Animal Shelter has already put in a call to our office to ask for a place
to put all these unfortunate doggies. If you can come help us at the ranch today in any capacity, please do. The high
winds continue to threaten the ranch as the already destroyed pens are hanging on rooftops and sticking to trees.
Thank you for helping us in this time of need.NEW LEASH ON LIFE16742 Placerita Cyn. Rd. * Newhall, CA 91321661-255-0097 or 818-710-9898 * info@nlol.org

(AP) SAN DIEGO, Calif. The sprawling San Diego Wild Animal Park has been closed
to visitors and staff. Flames are threatening its eastern end.

Smaller animals, including California condors, were
moved to the park's hospital Sunday. Other animals are being kept in their large field enclosures, which are
considered to be safer because the vegetation is sparse.The northern San Diego County park, encircled by fire breaks,
is home to about 3,500 animals.

EXCERPT FROM STORY: The sheer ferocity and sweep of the firestorm, and the
scale of its impact, created surreal images throughout the region.

In
the Rancho Bernardo area in north San Diego County, more than 1,500 people, 2,200 horses and other animals, including
chickens, a zebra and a zorse (a cross between a zebra and a horse), took refuge at the Del Mar fairground and
racetrack.

At least 5,000 people were evacuated to Qualcomm Stadium, home of the San Diego Chargers,
inviting comparisons to Hurricane Katrina evacuees who were housed in squalor at the Louisiana Superdome. The scene
at Qualcomm, though, could hardly have been in sharper contrast.

10/23/07: NOAH’S WISH REPORThttp://www.noahswish.info/CurrentRecentDisasters/Update as of noon, 10/23/07:Three Noah's Wish trailers left the El Dorado
Hills office at noon loaded with supplies and responders enroute to Qualcomm stadium in San Diego (see photos
below). Conditions continue to worsen as high winds drive the fires into communities. Over a half-million people are evacuated in Southern California. Qualcomm stadium now has more than 50,000 evacuees and the numbers continue to grow by the hour.
N.W. volunteers continue to arrive. They are very busy but have the shelter functioning smoothly.

Update
as of 7:00 am: All Noah's wish personnel responding to San Diego fire disaster should report to our command
center at the temporary shelter, Parking Lot "H" at Qualcomm Stadium. The First response trailer arrived last
evening with much needed cages and supplies.

At 9:00am this morning a caravan of three trucks pulling N.W. trailers will
leave the El Dorado Hills office bound for Qualcomm. Trailers are stocked with more caging and other much needed
equipment. Two dozen volunteers are now preparing to leave their homes from as far as Canada, Oklahoma and Arizona,
traveling to San Diego via car and plane.

This is a major disaster, much the same
as Hurricane Katrina...Hundreds of thousands of people and animals are out of their homes. Many will
have no homes to return to. Regions 1,2,5 and 6 are being deployed, more areas will be alerted as warranted by
the situation.
